Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
The official records and documents are an important source to understand the British administration. They also serve as an important source to give us information regarding the surveys, political decision making, reports, etc. They primarily focus on the official thought and what the officials were interested in and wished to preserve. They do not take into consideration the thoughts and interests of the common people of the country. The sources often refer only to the literate section of the society because they are the ones who made them. The history of tribals, peasants, workers, and commoners is often not recorded.
The correct statement would be that: The official documents do not help us in any way, to understand what the people of the country think.
